Summary: Excellent coffee grinder
Comment: I've discovered that the grind of a coffee is as important as the quality of the coffee beans and getting a great cup of java, equivalent to the Starbucks of the world, starts with a good qualify bean and a good grind that's consistent. The Breville does almost as good as the commercial grade grinders that you find in most retail stores, except that you don't get the inadvertent taste of someone else's grind. It's easy to use and is quieter than most standard inexpensive grinders and it looks good sitting on the counter. For people that grind their coffee immediately before each brew, this grinder is ideal. For those who want to great a pound or two at a time, this will work, but it'll take a little longer than the grinder at the grocery store. The finest grind isn't quiet as fine as "Turkish grind, but closer to what you would use in your expresso coffee maker.

Summary: The Best Grinder I've Owned!
Comment: This is my third grinder, second burr grinder and I can't imagine a better grinder. Works great, not too loud, not much static build-up. Very consistent grind. I've owned for about 4 months without any problem. Highly recommended!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor design, poorly executed.
Comment: Lasted less than a month.
I haven't sent it in for service because I don't think I want it back.
>It won't handle oily beans-- they just clog up the chute.
>Doesn't produce enough per cycle for a large American style brewer--you have to do it in batches.
>The small, oddly shapped ground receptical is hard to empty and has to be inserted *just* so or the grinder won't work.
Why is a good grinder so hard to find?

Summary: Great Grinder (especially for a new user such as myself)
Comment: In the interests of disclosure let me first say that I've never owned a grinder before so I can't compare this grinder to others on the market. However, as a first time buyer I was looking for a couple of things such as: easy to put together, ease of use, and of course, great tasting coffee. I am happy to say that this grinder satisfies all of the above. There is basically no assembly required which is great for someone like me who is a bit of a moron when it comes to putting appliances together. I had made my first cup of coffee about 10 minutes after removing the grinder from the box. Some other messages have stated that the coffee holder can be messsy as related to the static electricity problem. Nothing is perfect and though I occasionally have to clean up my kitchen counter a bit I find that if I am careful there is no problem at all. So maybe one of these days I will upgrade to one of those expensive burr grinders, but for now this product is awesome

Summary: Breville BCG450XL Conical Burr Grinder
Comment: This is my first c/b grinder and was skeptical if it was really necessary. I chose it based on web reviews, not personal feedback. Primarily it is used for drip (8cup) and espresso. Without additional exp. w/ other c/b grinders, i find this product is very acceptable for the amateur barista. Easy to assemble, beans have not jammed, consistent grind, less noisy than my old blade type, minor static cling and, most importantly, coffee tastes much better. I'll never go back to blade style.

Barista grade control for a variety of coffee grinds. The removable bean hopper holds 1/2 a pound of coffee beans. The motor drives the bottom burrs and the top plate is stationary. The distance you position them apart precisely determines grind size. The easy-to-read settings allow for grind choices from ultra-fine for Turkish coffee to large and coarse for percolators.
